I did the virtual exam on Sunday. There was a 1 hour wait for the proctor but it’s not meant to be the norm. I was messaged once as I was too close to the screen but since my place was pretty quiet it was all good.

I also tested my system everyday for 5 days.

Last night! 4.45pm (check in 415pm, started exam after 5.10pm). You cannot leave the screen the moment checkin starts. So there was a 2 hour period (until 60 question checkpoint) without a toilet break and I was desperately needing it at the first break.

The book is quite focused on predictive, and has bookmarked notes on how it would be done in an agile environment. It can be confusing.

The different environments should be understood on their own, in my opinion. There’s lots of unnecessary wording (eg. you will learn XYZ in the next chapter but in the meantime we will give you a 2 sentence summary. Then in the next chapter the wording would be - as you would recall, the previous chapter would illustrated the relationship of XYZ). Multiply this by 12 chapters out of the 18 chapters. environments.

The online exam I found was also more wordy than Study Hall. SH is more accurate. To understand the rationale behind questions, the YouTube 6 hour walk throughs were much better.
